The Components of Consistency: Powder & Primers

Successful load development relies on the stability of your consumables. In the UK, temperature sensitivity is a major factor for the year-round stalker. This is why we stock a wide range of Vihtavuori and Hodgdon powders, known for their clean-burning properties and predictable pressure curves across varying climates. Pairing the right powder with a consistent ignition source such as our Federal or CCI Primers is the foundation of every accurate load.

Transitioning to Lead-Free Components

With the UK’s shift toward non-toxic ammunition, many handloaders are re-evaluating their projectile choices. Transitioning to monolithic copper bullets (like the Hornady CX) requires a shift in technical thinking. These projectiles are longer than lead equivalents and often require faster twist rates and specific seating depths to achieve optimal stabilisation. We provide the technical components and the expertise to help you navigate this transition without sacrificing terminal performance.

Expert Equipment for Every Stage

Whether you are a high-volume pistol calibre reloader or a long-range precision rifle shooter, your hardware matters. We carry Lee Precision for accessible, high-quality entry points, and RCBS or Lyman for heavy duty, lifetime-service bench tools. By separating our reloading inventory from our factory ammunition, we ensure that the dedicated handloader finds exactly what they need from ultrasonic cleaners to precision micrometer dies without the noise of off-the-shelf alternatives.
